the tenth trial?

[hot_mess_express]

Who: everybody
When: Day 22, starting bright and early
Where: the jackal zone


[What was it...ah, yes. Come hither, Heroes, prove thy worth.

The familiar tremor of a trial comes with a voice that's probably familiar to a lot of train denizens. Entering the door to the trial reveals that somehow, yes, it is in fact Naeva who's done this.

The game room is a beautiful tea garden with elegant, victorian-style tea tables set out throughout. Naturally, the tables all have tea, a variety of snacks, and flower arrangements featuring the herbs from each team. The garden is also full of crystalline jonquil, though they can't seem to be picked up normally.

There are baskets set out for everyone who arrives, and a sign explaining the rules of the game. Across the top it reads Bonding Game.

Cardamom, you've made a huge mistake.]

[ Opening up is scary, Crow Gets It. ]

I did compliments first so I'll let you go first this time.

[voreaciously]

Please tell me something I do not know about you.

[she doesn't expect it to be like particularly impactful because lol]

[bad_crowmance]

I think you missed the point of "you go first this time."

[voreaciously]

I am choosing to learn something new, which mandates telling me.

[bad_crowmance]

"I'm choosing to be difficult, Crow." Fine, fine. I picked up a copy of the Kamasutra. It has illustrations!

[ There, that's something she didn't know but probably suspected he'd be doing. ]

[voreaciously]

I already shared that I would try nearly anything at least once.

[wow that counts!!

but oh hey]

Ah yes, I suspected you might.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He looks clearly doubtful that it counts but fine, he'll take it. ]

Yep! I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'm looking forward to learning new things.

[voreaciously]

Yes, well, I am here for research purposes.

[she says this so studiously.]

[bad_crowmance]

I'll look forward to your contributions.

[voreaciously]

I will do my best not to disappoint.

[bad_crowmance]

You usually don't. Hold my hand.

[ He sticks his out expectantly. ]

[voreaciously]

[whoa whoa whoa whoa hold the fuck up, bucko--]

--Usually?

[she's mad bruh



no she's not actually she's like curious and deep down anxious. what do you MEAN USUALLY DOES THAT MEAN SHE HAS AT SOME POINT]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He's still holding his hand out. TAKE IT. ]

By "usually," I mean "you haven't yet but speaking in absolutes sounds like a bad idea."

[voreaciously]

[augh fine

kinda like holds it and curls her fingers around after a moment like she's not sure how this works. she never has a problem with it during sex]

[bad_crowmance]

[ She's never had this problem during sex. This is highly entertaining. ]

You don't do this very often, do you?

[ As if he does. ]

[voreaciously]

I was not aware you were an expert on the subject of hand holding.

[bad_crowmance]

You look like you don't know how your hand works.

[voreaciously]

I am very good with them under certain circumstances.

[bad_crowmance]

You won't hear me arguing that point.
